I still think MSpainting Ferguson would bring many enjoyable, unique perspectives to the General forum.

Don't really care if I'm wrong.

Ok, I'll ask. What's the cost of gun regulation?

We have a measure of regulation... when the feds aren't actively underming it.

Are you trying to ask me how much more gun regulation would be acceptable for me in the prevention of such massacres?

Regulation means education first.

Wow. Leviathan much?

now people need to know things like. "within the first 5 seconds of someone holding a gun it is likely they will decide mentally on if they are prepared to fire the pistol. If the person has not fired in this amount of time, chances are they will not fire".

Ever trained for a gun-in-your-face moment? Oh yeah? Betcha the real thing is waaaay different. Count on it.

They need to know things like. What are the chances given certain situations that usually provoke gun fire? When is gun fire and death most common? What are the typical conditions that help provoke someone to fire a gun? Why should someone fire a gun and when is it ok to fire a gun? Why do people use gun's and what are bad ways to use a gun, literally and in a symbolic way.

Okay, you trolled me, great, thanks.
These hypothetical people should be wondering if they're legally allowed to use deadly force when "the situation" has arisen.

You don't wonder how you to avoid provoking someone aiming a gun at you; they intend to kill you.

What were guns designed to do and what purpose were they designed for?

They are designed to fight a dense chunk of metal at high speeds in an accurate, controlled manner. They were designed to extinguish life in all its forms. Since the man first got tired of being destroyed by meaner, more forceful things and picked up a rock to fight back, he's been searching, inventing things more efficient and effective to use to express his will: to survive, thrive and dominate the arena of Earth.

How's that?

How do people who cause problems with guns use a gun and why does it cause a problem?

Through ignorance, miseducation and lack of two good opposite sex parents at home.

*straight-face*

Why do guns provoke fear in us when they are used in a threatening way?

Because a bullet represents mortality, and its threat of use stretches back to when we feared the tooth and claws of animals we now take our children to gawk at in cages.

What are common tell tales of an individual who can cause problems when holding a gun?

Drunk/doped up, history of violence and knowledge that anybody could be a psycho waiting to snap and attack you or your loved ones for no logical reason short of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. How do you defend yourself against the 7,153,338,915 people you haven't met?

Why and how do mental illness's affect someone's capabilities in wielding a gun? What is the difference between someone without a mental illness and someone with a mental illness using a gun?

We get into pyschology here, along with how much monitoring should be expected/allowed in a "free" society. Or least one that claims the liberty high-ground.

How do guns inpeed a sense of power and actually what does power even represent?

True power is control over oneself no matter the circumstances. Most people think that that mindset in also a form of insanity. See: religion

Need i go on?

Why not? That all you got in the tanks?

Nice insight. A religious person might proffer that while our lives on this plane might not be very different (as our gifts from God include the will to choose) our eternal souls, would be. But this is where you get into true and false doctrine, acceptible "proof" of righteousness and the myriad other religiously-oriented inconsistencies that plague mortal existence.

If you can believe the devil walks among us, you can believe alot. That doesn't mean that the characteristics extolled by ol' lucifer aren't available for open view in everyday life. So are many Christ-like and divine things. Ultimately, religion is a way to rationalize the world in a way that satisfies our God-given (or at least god-like) existence. And yes, I do agree that religion is a reflection of humanity.

This is where you are wrong.

Each cartridge is filled with many proud and wonderful things. How they react with eachother gives us the ignition to create the physical effect of kinetic energy, once stored as potential energy, unleashing itself through the business end (barrel) of the firearm.

I assure you, within the context of my response to your dilemma of educating the masses about guns and their capabilities, physics and chemistry are at the root of knowledge.

It is not chemistry and physics people need to learn. It is the psychology behind everything.

Psychology is not an exact science; there are many schools of thought and many interpretations into psychological motives.

Tell me what "the psychology behind everything" is, please.

Chemistry and physics. Who doesn't know which end of a firearm is the business one? Very, very basic education about the proper use and care for guns eliminates the excuse of "I didn't know that could happen" -type incidents.

Our current education system and current common knowledge isn't sufficient in preventing alot of things that can be prevented.

You can't prevent everything, and improvements can always be made. You need to ask: at what cost?

As for your talk about that problem, that is not a common problem that is widespread and happening in everyday life. It depends on the severity of the problem and whether or not we REALLY need it to be common knowledge. C'mon common sense here.

Iran ain't no joke bud.

If you've a right to something (like firearms), then having a system in place to educate Americans in their exercise thereof would be prudent, yes?

All they would have to do is find clever ways to incorporate that into every day society in a fashion people really wont notice.

Are you suggesting subliminal messaging? I don't understand what's so low-profile about guns... why is the Treyvon/Zimmerman debacle getting more media attention than Operation Fast and Furious? Who do you have delivering these hardly-noticeable incorporations?

Its getting to that point of society where things get more advanced and our educational system needs to adjust and improve accordingly. If we make "expert knowledge" into common knowledge. Then we wont need those experts to continually banter there ways.

Expert knowledge says a widespread EMP blackout would virtually destroy urban America. Should we then tighten the reins on nuclear proliferation, or incorperate an educational system preparing youth for the time when it happens? The United Nations Small Arms Treaty, before it broke down, would have superceded our Constitutional right #2, had the US signed on and approved. Which is the "more advanced" society, the one with or without the SAT?

When will Eric Holder vacate the US Attorney General's office?

1) before November (via Obama or Issa)

2) after Romney's election

3) sometime during Obama's fifth term, to become mayor of DC

4) (your own snarky opinion)

_______________

Given Obama's penchant for amputating rotting political tissue, I want to say number one, BUT the president's involvement tells me his fate is tied to Holder's... probably through blackmail and/or cronyism.

Criminally negligent.
In contempt.
Covering-up wrongdoing with executive privilege in violation of the law.

Any of you clowns seriously defending the DoJ on this should realize the American people wouldn't know squat about any of this if it weren't for whistleblowers within the FBI, DEA and ATF.

The Op was criminally flawed.
The AG lied under oath multiple times.
The president attempted to use his power to further bury the deeds from necessary Congressional oversight.

It's sick how some of you brush this off as election-year politics. Wrong is wrong, and your excuses (including race-baiting) do you no honor.

Fuck off.

I'm pretty sure that's a stat that arises from a situation.

How do you breath without choking?

How many crimes are stopped becuase of guns? How many crimes are escalated because of the victim carrying a gun?

Crime escalation due to victim.

You sound like a rape-defense lawyer's wet dream.

That is their purpose, plain and simple. The reason they can be used as deterrence is because their purpose is to cause harm.

There is no reason to be blind or naive here. Harm is the intended purpose of guns plain and simple. That does not necessarily mean guns are bad, as there are numerous uses where the harm or threat of harm does good.

Removing the possibility of the threat of harm by disarming the population at large would be a detriment, following that line.

I won't just give up my rights because some wet-behind-the-ears collegiate thinks he has the world figured out because a long-haired professor gave him an 'A' for spouting nonsense about how guns are inherently evil.

Is that what you're trying to fix?

how many school shootings happen in America compared to everywhere else in the world, where guns are controlled?

How many other places have the guns, and laws (read: rights) Americans enjoy? Just what exactly are you arguing?

"not everyone can beat up thugs who are usually buff and young" not everyone can out shoot them either. if they pull the gun on you first, you aren't going to reach for yours in time

You won't reach for anything at all without one :P
